Writeblr Intro

writeblr intro

Hello!

My name is B, 28M, Vietnamese, cis male, and hopelessly gay. Currently living in Sydney, Australia, and working on my first novel!

This tumblr is for me to connect with other writers - I don’t have any friends who are also into writing, so hoping to make some here :) - and basically to use it as a chiller feed compared to, say, the other hellsite.

Main WIP:

It’s an urban fantasy set in a fictional city in modern southeast Australia, with heavy Lovecraftian undertones and strong gay romance elements. I’ve written an intro post on my main blog, and still working on it atm!

Shorts:

While I’m pecking at the main WIP I’ve also been playing a TTRPG game, and have been writing a few shorts based on the character I play! Meet Han Yu, the Sewer Doctor! 

Beneath the streets of Payne Town where waste sludges through plumbing like clotted blood, where underdwellers tick their days by, surviving, preying, or festering, the Sewer Doctor holds his base of operations.

Do you want a grotesque trophy to impress your innermost circle of elites? Perhaps alien warmth to sate your darkest desires? Maybe seek the help and care everyone deserves, the help the powers that be withhold from you, for they deem your wellbeing unprofitable, your existence a simple statistic?

Seek out the rats in alleyways, behind the everyday filth daywalkers cannot bear to acknowledge. They will see you, and they will hear what you have to say. Speak to them, follow them, to the Clinic where the Doctor waits. May your pain be relieved and yourself made whole, no matter your perceived dollar worth. But if you do bring your shameful desires’ worth… the Doctor does not judge. He delivers.

@local:han simon is this the fucking reason why ive been getting fleshlight requests on the market?

I like SFF, gay romance, and gay SFF. Lovecraftian stuff too, though more on the monster design and existentialism.

Outside of books, I also love TTRPGs, and general geekery.

Leftist and vegan :)

I made this callout meme for me and me specifically

Introducing Nathrheim Publishing, and a sneak peek at our first project!

Happy Halloween! @elijahrichardwrites, @fearofahumanplanet, @bpdgotmelike, and @thenightmarewrites are eager to announce our latest project - Nathrheim Publishing House, an independent punk publishing house with the goal of uplifting marginalized voices, radical leftist perspectives, and other works that find themselves struggling to gain representation in an otherwise insular and restrictive market.

Our goals?

To seek out and publish marginalized & othered voices of any sort - are you a POC? LGBT? Disabled, visible or not? Suffering a stigmatized disorder (Cluster B folks, line right up)? Lower-class? Any sort of outcast? You're the exact sort of people we're looking to represent. We feel there aren't enough perspectives on the market, and we want to change that.

An approachable, transparent business style. All too often, publishing houses are downright opaque about their intent and their work process, and it's hard to really get your foot in the door when no one will even inform you why you're being rejected. We aim to defy that norm.

We aim to particularly represent daring, provocative, rebellious, offbeat and all-around "weird" voices. Have you been told your work wouldn't sell? We think it will, and we're willing to put money on the line to prove it. We do not require an agent - if you have a story you want published and no one else wants it, send it right to us, we'll take a look.

Please reblog for visibility!!!

We are not open for submissions yet - for now, we plan on publishing our first book and fundraising the money required to take on other authors and publish them too. When we do take submissions, we are especially interested in works from the writeblr community as well as all categories listed above! As for our first book...

Jane Doe's Karma Killer, more info to come :)

I’ve got a string of doctor visits coming up. Not to mention the er visit bill. But mostly I want to cover the gyno bill so I don’t have to worry over the holiday. It’ll be around $175 (possibly double if they request an ultrasound) So if you buy anything from my shop right now, it’s all going to that. I hate this had to happen now, but thank you for even giving this a glance.

If you're a writer of fantasy, horror, or speculative fiction in general, reblog this! Looking for kindred spirits to follow!
